T-belt change time
Lucky ducky:
Getting the timing belt & water pump changed next week is there anything else would need doing while there at it? ... Was thinking thermostat mines 2005 AXX Manual

Would be interested to know this also. I know my thermostat needs changed and was wondering whether to lump this work with the belt and water pump change since that is due for me later this year.

Could do the thermostat and the coolant temp sensors whilst the coolant has been drained.

I agree, saves draining the coolant twice.

Plus with the engine lifted and alternator out you will have half a chance of getting to the thermostat I did my belt, water pump and thermostat a few weeks ago and it took 2 of us 12 hours on a four poster ramp in a fully equipped workshop!!!
Change both temp sensors/ switches too whilst coolant is out:-)
